General Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander, had the death camps exhaustively photographed and documented so that there would be no possibility of denial.

How did he do that, since all of the extermination camps were under Soviet control.

Really?

U.S. forces liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar, Germany, on April 11, 1945, a few days after the Nazis began evacuating the camp. On the day of liberation, an underground prisoner resistance organization seized control of Buchenwald to prevent atrocities by the retreating camp guards. American forces liberated more than 20,000 prisoners at Buchenwald. They also liberated Dora-Mittelbau, Flossenbürg, Dachau, and Mauthausen.

British forces liberated concentration camps in northern Germany, including Neuengamme and Bergen-Belsen. They entered the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, near Celle, in mid-April 1945. Some 60,000 prisoners, most in critical condition because of a typhus epidemic, were found alive. More than 10,000 of them died from the effects of malnutrition or disease within a few weeks of liberation.

I ask PAR35 are you claiming that the death camps were not extensively photographed? Or that the Nazi death camps did NOT kill millions of innocent people?

This was a British documentary filmed, in part, by Alfred Hitchcock. All the camps were apparently not controlled by the Soviets. I have only watched this once, about 15 years ago. I do not need to see it again.

You honestly think that all the camps were in areas under Soviet control. There were literally hundreds of slave labor & concentration camps all over Europe ,also WE liberated parts of what were to be parts of the Soviet zone of control . Unlike the Red Army our officers were allowed a degree of freedom in regard to initiative & they also got evidence hell my late Uncle Ed helped liberate the Concentration camp outside the city of Dachau.
